I want to throw a question out there because I haven't really ever done any neural net modeling of any sort, but I did design a CPU in grad school, and one of the things that really had to be carefully handled is hazards, e.g. the presence of "incorrect" intermediate values in combinatorial circuits. This is a kind of circuit coordination problem, and in CPU design this is handled by minimizing circuit paths and the use of a clock so that only "final" circuit outputs are used. Surely there must be some similar sorts of hazards in the brain. How do brains solve the coordination problem?
